“…As far as language disturbances in SZ are concerned, it is known that patients with this disease generally have difficulty processing semantic aspects of language (Anand, Wales, Jackson, & Copolov, 1994;Blaney, 1974;Nestor et al, 2001;Paulsen et al, 1996), combining semantic and syntactic information (Condray, Steinhauer, Cohen, van Kammen, & Kasparek, 1999;Condray, Steinhauer, van Kammen, & Kasparek, 2002;Sitnikova, Salisbury, Kuperberg, & Holcomb, 2002;Thomas, King, Fraser, & Kendell, 1990), creating lexico-semantic associations (Salisbury, O'Donnell, McCarley, Nestor, & Shenton, 2000;Salisbury, Shenton, Nestor, & McCarley, 2002;Sitnikova et al, 2002;Titone, Levy, & Holzman, 2000), and accessing and using lexical knowledge (McKenna & Oh, 2005). They also exhibit deficits in verbal fluency, especially in category fluency (Bokat & Goldberg, 2003;Kremen, Seidman, Faraone, & Tsuang, 2003).…”

The study assessed the quantity and quality of errors made by schizophrenia patients in understanding and interpretation of the same metaphors, to evaluate metaphor understanding and explanation depending on the type of presentation material, and to analyze the correlation of illness symptoms with metaphor comprehension and explanation. Two groups of participants were examined: a schizophrenia sample (40 participants) and a control group (39 participants). Metaphor processing was assessed by the subtests of the Polish version of the Right Hemisphere Language Battery (RHLB-PL). The patients were also evaluated with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Schizophrenia patients scored significantly lower in explanation of metaphors, making more incorrect literal and abstract mistakes or providing no answer more frequently. No differences were observed in understanding metaphors; no correlation between symptoms and metaphor processing was obtained. In both groups, picture metaphors were easier to comprehend and written metaphors were easier to comprehend than to explain.

The abnormalities have been viewed as the consequence of formal thought disorder.…”

“…Other studies imply the presence of discourse deficits in schizophrenia patients (Andreasen, Arndt, Alliger, Miller, & Flaum, 1995;McKenna & Oh, 2005), such as shifts from one topic to another without clear links between them, and difficulties in inferring intention and identifying the gist. Other studies have also demonstrated a lack of cohesion in samples of patient speech (Noel-Jorand, Reinert, Giudicelli, & Dassa, 1997), lowered sensitivity to linguistic violations (Kuperberg, McGuire, & David, 1998) and a higher number of errors in decoding communicative intent (Tenyi, Herold, Szili, & Trixler, 2002).…”
